Why do so many action movies never make back their budget at the box office?
 
Nowadays it seems like its more and more common for big action movies to never make back their budget. We're seeing it recently even with major franchises like Star Trek, Ghostbusters, TMNT, Suicide Squad, and so forth.

Outside of high profile stuff like Star Wars (and I wonder if Rogue One will do anywhere as well as Episode 7 since its a spinoff), and Marvel movies, most movies have trouble making back their budget nowadays.

Is it a sign action movies have gotten too expensive to produce? Do you think we'll start seeing less of them?

'Cause they haven't been good since the 90's

God you're atrocious.

Suicide Squa has been out 4 ****ING DAYS YOU DUMB A$$!! You have no clue whether it will make back its budget or not. Jesus you have the mind of a 10 year old.

You're such a useless troll here

CyberCubed has been really annoying lately. I wish his mom would put a parental lock on his computer until he lost this attitude of his.

You seem very touchy over how Suicide Squad does. Apparently it has to make more than $700 million. That's quite a lot to go.

I am because there's 4 idiots here on the drome that seem to have no lives outside of trying to bash this movie.

Movies have done that, and will continue to do that. The movie has been out 4 days idiot. You made this thread to bash the movie again. There's no others purpose here. Reporting it and needs to be closed

CyberCubed 08-08-2016 10:44 AM

I literally listed 4 recent movies that just came out. Suicide Squad happens to be one of them.

Electric 08-08-2016 10:47 AM

You listed 2 movies which just came out a week ago. You have no clue if they'll make their budget back. This is a ****** thread just so you could bash movies you don't like. Action movies make their budget all the time. If you really cared about this subject, delete two movie that make it inaccurate right now

CyberCubed 08-08-2016 10:48 AM

So if I didn't mention Suicide Squad you'd have no problem with this thread? Seems to be that one particular movie.

Electric 08-08-2016 10:52 AM

If you could drop the know it all attitude and read, I said two movies. Star Trek hasn't been out a month yet.

And yes suicide squad in particular! Because it's been out 4 DAYS you imbecile. You can't condemn a movie to not make its budget when it hasn't even been released it so many countries and only been in America for 4 days!
My god youre stupid

Because they spend too much money on lame ideas. :trolleye:

You seem overly angry for some reason. It's a thread about action movies trying to make their budget, not some vendetta over a single movie.

Including movies that just came out or are still in theaters is a bit unfair.

I'm angry because you are blatantly wrong here. Suicide squad can easily make its budget back. You have no ****ING clue. It's about time someone called you on your ****

Calm down, man. It's just a movie.

TheSkeletonMan939 08-08-2016 10:56 AM

Who hates CyberCubed more - Electric, or ToTheNines?

Sorry, just obnoxious when youre already condemning it and acting like it failed when it's been out 4 days.

You can't just be and idiot an expect to get by

DarthRaphael 08-08-2016 10:57 AM

I'm close to locking this one already.

TigerClaw 08-08-2016 10:58 AM

The movies would also make back it's budget when released on DVD/Blu-ray and Digital.

Sometimes a movie gets a sequel when it sells extremely well on home video, but most often then not, it be direct to video movies.

Electric 08-08-2016 10:59 AM

Please do. It's a crappy thread to bash on movies he doesn't like. That is its purpose. No good discussion will come out of this. Just him getting a free for all to critique whatever he wants.
